● Precautions 
WARNING
Always provide protective circuits in the network. Without protective cir-
cuits, malfunctions may possibly result in accidents that cause serious 
injury or significant property damage. Provide double or triple safety mea-
sures in external control circuits, such as emergency stop circuits, inter-
lock circuits, or limit circuits, to ensure safety in the system if an 
abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the product or another external 
factor affecting the product's operation. 
CAUTION
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the product. Doing so 
may occasionally result in minor injury due to electric shock. 
Do not touch the terminals, or electronic components or patterns on the 
PCB within 1 minute after turning OFF the power. Doing so may occa-
sionally result in minor injury due to electric shock. 
Do not allow pieces of metal, wire clippings, or fine metallic shavings or 
filings from installation to enter the product. Doing so may occasionally 
result in electric shock, fire, or malfunction. 
Do not use the product in locations where flammable or explosive gases 
are present. Doing so may occasionally result in minor or moderate 
explosion, causing minor or moderate injury, or property damage. 
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the product. Doing so 
may occasionally result in minor or moderate injury due to electric shock. 
Tighten the screws on the terminal block and the connector locking 
screws securely using a tightening torque within the following ranges. 
Loose screws may occasionally cause fire, resulting in minor or moderate 
injury, or damage to the equipment. 
Terminal block screws: 0.40 to 0.56 N·m 
 Connector locking screws: 0.25 to 0.30 N·m 
Perform correct setting of the product according to the application. Failure 
to do so may occasionally cause unexpected operation, resulting in minor 
or moderate injury, or damage to the equipment. 
Ensure safety in the event of product failure by taking safety measures, 
such as installing a separate overheating prevention alarm system. Prod-
uct failure may occasionally prevent control, or operation of alarm out-
puts, resulting in damage to the connected facilities and equipment. 
Do not use the equipment for measurements within Measurement Cate-
gories II, III, or IV (according to IEC61010-1). Doing so may occasionally 
cause unexpected operation, resulting in minor or moderate injury, or 
damage to the equipment. Use the equipment for measurements only 
within the Measurement Category for which the product is designed. 
The service life of the output relays depends on the switching capacity 
and switching conditions. Consider the actual application conditions and 
use the product within the rated load and electrical service life. Using the 
product beyond its service life may occasionally result in contact welding 
or burning.
